Lortab price?

Current Pricing of Lortab

As of my knowledge cutoff, the average retail price for a 30-day supply of Lortab, a brand-name combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone, can range from $150 to $250 in the United States [1].

Why is Lortab so Expensive?

One factor contributing to the high price of Lortab is that the patent for the combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen, owned by Watson Pharmaceuticals (now part of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries), expired in 2006 [1]. After patent expiration, generic versions of the drug became available, but the brand-name version remains expensive due to the cost of research, development, and marketing.

Where Can I Find the Best Price?
